A STRANGER IN MY STREET

Book ID/图书代码: 12774012B57715

English Summary/英文概要: It’s January 1943. Australia is at war and Perth is buzzing. American troops have money, accents like movie stars, tailored uniforms and good manners. It’s the ’American occupation’ and many Perth women are having the time of their lives. Not Meg Eaton, however. The war has brought her nothing but heartbreak. Until, in the middle of a Perth heat-wave, she meets her dead lover’s brother and discovers a body in her neighbour’s back yard - murdered - and her life changes forever.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1943年的1月,澳洲正處於戰火紛飛之時,帕斯市也繁忙異常。
長期駐紮在這裡的美軍,讓本地的男人們感覺自己的城市有種被佔領的苦澀感覺,而帕斯市的女士們則有了她們的生命中最充滿活力的時光。美國佬有的是錢,個個說話像好萊塢影星,身着漂亮的美軍制服,還有著良好的舉止。更重要的是,他們喜歡與妙齡女孩們共舞,年輕的女士們都蜂潮湧動,把警告拋擲腦後,他們的舉止行為觸動着當時的社會標準的底線。
梅格•伊頓沒有和這些女士一樣,戰爭只給她留下心碎,偷取了十八個月前她年輕的愛情。直到在帕斯市熱浪中,她遇見了自己愛人的兄長,湯姆 — 佇立在鄰居後院的一具屍體旁。
突然間,梅格發現自己卷入了一場神秘謀殺案中,而且自己和湯姆•拉格朗日的糾纏也越陷越深。但他是否真的表裏如一?他和這個死去的女人到底有著什麼樣的關係?
黛博拉•巴羅斯首度以歷史學家的技巧,呈現了這部精心研製的,充滿愛情和陰謀的一部絕對令人賞心悅目的小說。(Sandy)
